For all students

Transfer credit will be evaluated and assigned a 性视界传媒 discipline and course number based on the closest match between the originating course and the 性视界传媒 course descriptions. A grade of “TR” will be assigned - the GPA will not transfer. A student's 性视界传媒 GPA is computed using work done at 性视界传媒 only.

Any evaluation of transfer credit (including non-accredited, military, and international credit) is to be considered tentative until the student has completed 12 hours in good standing at 性视界传媒.

Any veteran receiving GI Bill® benefits while attending 性视界传媒 is required to obtain transcripts from all previously attended schools and submit them to the VA school official for review of prior credit.

GI Bill® is a registered trademark of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). More information about education benefits offered by VA is available at the official U.S. government Web site at https://www.benefits.va.gov/gibill.

Military Credit

JST (Joint Services Transcript), CCAF (Community College of the Air Force) and DLI (Defense Language Institute) transcripts are treated as transcripts from accredited colleges. The ACE Guide to the Evaluation of Education Experience in the Armed Services is used in determining the transferability of learning acquired in military service.

Learning applicable to a service member’s program will be transferred as undergraduate elective credit at levels consistent with the ACE Guide recommendations and/or as transcripted by the Community College of the Air Force. Courses determined to be vocational/technical at the discretion of the enrollment manager would not receive credit in accordance with 性视界传媒’s undergraduate transfer credit policy.

Military transcripts should be requested from Joint Services Transcripts and will be accepted electronically and deemed official by 性视界传媒.

International Transfer Credit

College credit for coursework completed at international institutions that are not regionally accredited by a U.S. regional accreditation agency may be accepted in transfer toward degree programs at 性视界传媒. However, all such coursework must be evaluated by one of our approved evaluation agencies. To do so, applicants must submit any materials required by the chosen evaluation partner to that agency.

In addition, applicants must submit official college/university transcripts for each institution attended, in both native language and English translation, along with copies of any certificates or diplomas awarded, to the 性视界传媒 registrar’s office.

Transfer credit will be considered for each course for which a student has received a grade of "C-" or better for undergraduate courses or "B-" or better for graduate courses (individual programs may have specific standards for transfer work as specified in the university catalog). Submission of course descriptions at the time of application is highly encouraged so we can begin the evaluation process as quickly as possible.

Please note, though, that not all international course credits are eligible for transfer and some courses may not apply toward degree programs at 性视界传媒.

Post-Baccalaureate

Students who have a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited or ABHE-accredited college or university may pursue a second bachelor’s degree at 性视界传媒. The second degree must be in a different major from any previously earned degrees. Credit will only be transferred for coursework that fulfills a major requirement.

Post-baccalaureate students are required to complete a minimum of 30 semester hours of coursework at 性视界传媒, following the previously earned bachelor’s degree. A previous bachelor’s degree fulfills all general education requirements at 性视界传媒, unless special general education requirements exist for the chosen major. All major requirements must be met before a second degree is awarded.
